I have been looking for a business management degree from a good university and I came across Northumbria University. I took up the programme because of the University's ranking and accreditation status. I really like the assignment-based approach as I can integrate my professional work experience with business management principles I learnt in my class to produce good quality assignments.

I chose this MBA because Northumbria University is an accredited university with good ranking. The lessons were interactive and mode of assessment is mainly assignment-based. I was able to combine the knowledge I have acquired in my MBA classes with my wealth of experience in the financial industry to produce a piece of coursework. This suit me far better given my hectic work schedule as I was able to pace myself than cramp my revision for exams.

While classes were conducted on a regular basis, the course also offered me a certain level of flexibility. Despite missing some classes due to my business trips, I was able to catch up with the help of my lecturers and classmates.

Taking up the Northumbria MBA is one of the best decisions I have made. It opened windows of opportunities in my career and I have gained a new level of confidence in my job.
